Chapter 260 Ant City
Nigel raised his hand lightly, and a massive crystal instantly enveloped everyone.
Joanna sensed that this crystal was the same one that had scaled the evil god statue’s head during the selection.
It seemed to be an earth-clement forbidden spell, Crystal Seal.
It could not only seal enemies but also protect everyone inside.
As the group moved, the crystal barrier moved with them.
They stepped smoothly through the stone gate.
A sense of imbalance washed over them during the transit. This passage was unusually slow, as if interstellar travel had always been at light speed, but this time felt like riding a rattling green
train.
She could even see the expressions and movements of the people around her while traveling.
In the past, this kind of transition took only an instant.
At last, everything around them collapsed inward and focused on another stone gate, and the group “walked” out of it together.
Joanna’s perception returned.
Under her perception, she realized they had entered a vast city built entirely of stone walls. There were no electrical devices inside, but there were mechanical structures, waterwheels, gear carts, and similar mechanisms.
What shocked her most was the sky.
The sky was a riot of colors, like a painted canvas. Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, black, white, and gray intertwined in chaotic lines and blocks, filling one’s vision.
It was beautiful but also eerie, sending a chill through her chest.
More than that, the world itself was so vast that Joanna couldn’t perceive its full extent.
With her current spiritual strength, she could sense the surface area of a star, yet she couldn’t grasp the boundaries of this place at all.
This was the legendary Divine Battlefield.

Chapter 200 MILL Ony
A realm the size of an entire world, like a boundless universe, yet composed entirely of matter and spiritual energy.
One could imagine how terrifying the
C
s and density of such a realm must be.
Energy here was so abundant that even breathing in meant inhaling dimension-origin energy. Someone weak could pass out, or even burst apart, from the sudden surge.
That was why the minimum requirement to enter the Divine Battlefield was Level 60.
Or at least 20,000 Spirit.
Only then could one withstand the density here.
Joanna turned back and realized the stone gate hadn’t vanished. It remained in place, recessed inward like a vast, bottomless tunnel.
Nigel, ever the responsible professor, explained it to her.
“Does it look like a tunnel? But what I’m about to tell you is that it’s actually a pinhole.”
Joanna froze.
When she imagined shrinking the tunnel down by billions of times, it really did resemble one.
“Evil gods possess overwhelming power and never bother restraining or controlling it, because restraint has no meaning to them.
“It’s like the wind from your steps blowing ants away, or your foot crushing an anthill and turning the world upside down for them.
“Would you stop walking or deliberately avoid an anthill you never even noticed?
“Some people even find it amusing to step on anthills or flood them with water.
“Evil gods are the same. A casual movement from them can bring earth-shaking changes to the material world. This hole might be nothing more than a cavity left behind by one of their hairs, yet it connects the Divine Battlefield to the Divine Demonic Planet.
“The Divine and Demonic Academy was built here for that reason, to guard this place and prevent anything from slipping through.
“This city is called Ant City. To the divine-demonic realm, it’s nothing more than an anthill. It serves as a constant reminder to human powerhouses who come here that before evil gods, we are nothing but ants.’
Those words shook Joanna deeply.
2/4
Joanna didn’t need to follow the others for her interviews. Even staying within the city was enough. Nigel removed the protective barrier, and the crushing pressure returned.
Yet her stats were strong enough that she adapted faster than even Samantha beside her.
The group dispersed. Joanna took out the coordinates she had received from Beatrice.
Ant Tunnel No. 18, frontline battlefield, the Serpent Pit.
